The place has an excellent location, just around the corner from Hallgrímskirkja and practically 5 minutes from Rainbow Street. Check-in was fast, the room had a little balcony from where we could see the ocean. The room and the bathroom were both really clean. While the bathroom was shared, we had no issues with needing to wait long. The breakfast was good and diverse, a nice way to start the day. We found parking in front of the house. As we get there Friday afternoon, we only need to pay for one hour. It was a good stay and good value for money.

    The guesthouse is very strategically close both to the city centre and the bus terminal (from which the buses to the airport depart directly, with no need to book for the drop off/ pick up service), but at the same is in a quiet and very green residential area. The room is small (but it was clear from the pictures posted, so no surprises there) but very clean and comfortable. Thorey was a great host and ready to help when I called her before arriving, and left very specific instructions for us regarding our stay. Lovely dog too!
